Wo don't want Ely people to feel that an in dustrial revolution is on the way, and that wages are going to smash, that factories are going to close up tight and stay closed, or that banks are going to pull down the blinds end <iuit. Nothing ao bad is that is for- - cast ou. Rut there* are going to in thousand - of men thrown out ot work all ovci the country while this readjustment is going on. Factories will release tin if men and leave tin-in Idle while they revise pricelist.* and set new pr i dtuiion standards. Thesi prices wilt in the main he 1 >wcr, so that it will be necessary when tin- plants again temine operation to olfer tile old Jobs at a i-i Juci d wage. Tiiis Is already being done in many places and is soon destined to become general. It is worth vv bile to note, too, that in most Instances the non are accepting tin decreased wage. That alone will pr • Vent a seriotyt industrial ilnteiip throughout the country. The man who lias steady work at .1 good wage is the one to take mile of those changing conditions and st.iv on the Job. Within a short time there will be, fur the first time ince we <t.ternl the war. mere men than thei. are jobs. And it behooves the ones I now working to guard their Interests | accordingly. America is going t<> come out of it all i ght and eventually it may prove bettor fur all concerned. The solution of toe problem w«* nr r.bout to face, however, rests with the workers themselves. It Is up to tin 10 1 to assist in a readjustment, or to | creati turmoil by refusing t« d<> -o. A certain class of newspaper men 1 assert that a farmer is the most in dependent man on earth, and that In has nothing to do but enjoy Hi* : tlm. when winter comes and tin* lilhc/aid i** 1 on the wing he too‘tn his fe«t in tin | oven and reads the local paper, tin ( only tiling that disturb* hint being n chi’, throe time* 1 <14v to a bnnqute of mince fie ami othei luxtitbs. R111 they're all wrong, and to prove it we asked a woll-knotvn farmer of this coniiiiunity. w liom we met on Hie , streets. In substance In s-iid soinet- . thing lik- this: 'The Industrious farmer logins work long before the sun thinks of getting up. With his soul shrouded in glume he jiroceo Is to build a fire and soften his boots with a hammer. He then takes .1 lantern an 1 shovels bis way to tlic burn and feeds the hogs.

And sine' it is siipprrteii tiy . oluiit.u y offcring and weekly plcdg s, Ibis Irregular and decreasing attendance loomed i« a sArlou* problem and threatened the llfo of the Institution. Wherever the congregation turned then was a lack of money to carry on its woik. A little extra used In charity or repair ing the building meant skimping souu - win-re else. The salury of the pastor was miserably small, yet It was nl most impossible to raise it. Then came an experiment. A man in the congregation suiil he would launch an advertising campaign. The newspapers of the town cooperated heartily and the people of the com munity roor. beg in reading display ads which told of the welcome await ing everyone at the Methodist church, of the good cheer offered those who dropped in to hear a sermon or to ; visit the Sunday school. And today it 1 is the "live" church of the neighbor hood: the attendance is the largest In all that section: the people gather there as in neighborly massineetlng. A od cltirens 01 Niles admit Hint news paper advertising made it so. If the proposition was good for that church, why wouldn't it be a tin* 1 remedy tor the Kly church that is af ! dieted with a poor attendance and that is having a hard time making ends j | meet from n tinanelal standpoint?
